  • It has one more lower gear, REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY SLOW. My word it has a slow first gear, reverse is almost as bad. Its a wonder anything ever got built with machines like this.

  • What a fantastic sound when you get a little bit of a load on it! Reminds me of riding on my dad/grandad's lap on many an old piece of equipment.

  • Love the old earthmovers. I don't know a thing about em', I just love watching them in action. Your son is a lucky young man!! Great post.

  • your a retart! what would have happened if your son fell off your lap?

  • @spectramac ME TOO! We think she needs rings - smokes a bit after start-up.

    @deception4ever It's so cool to see the kid riding along! In 1987, when I was 6, my Dad mounted a car seat to the fender so I could ride along while he plowed snow. MAN DID I LOVE THAT! You're giving that little one something he/she will never forget! :D :D :D :D

    THANKS FOR POSTING - SOOO COOL TO SEE!!!

  • Very cool! My Dad has one just like it that I hope to help restore one day. ;)

  • Great machine. Poor choice to take a kid with you and let him ride in your lap.

  • my grandpa has a 40 rowcrop its my favorit on the farm

  • repro manuals are available from deere. otherwise go on ebay. lots there

  • Hi there,... I'm trying to get an Owners Manual for a 1950 JD 40C for a neighbour. Sounds like you have one... where could I get one?

    Thanks very much.
